Arindam [Stranger 03 / 100] - a photo on Flickriver

Arindam [Stranger 03 / 100]

Finished my Stranger #2, headed back to have my cuppa tea.
Then headed for the garden area which also houses a large lake, Ravindra Sarovar - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindra_Sarobar , which was right across the road
It was pretty early for valentines & spotting a friendly and pretty couple / faces did not take too long
Arindam & Mousumi were seated on one of the many benches surrounding the lake and I joined them with due permission to shoot them. After introducing myself and getting to know some bit about them, telling them about the '100 Strangers' thing, I got down to my job with my camera and kept chatting too in the process
They had some suggestions for some poses & I readily obliged
Arindam wanted a solo & the result pleased him and me as well. He was in the final year of graduation in science and wants to do his post graduation after that

Mid way through the shoot, I could sense that they eased up and that felt very reassuring. Now I was running out of ideas ... never done this posing stuff before
I was harping on missing out a 50mm f/1.8 I had ordered and was supposed to reach me on the 13th itself but delivery got delayed and reached me when I got home for the day
Maybe the coming Sunday I will try it out ... just gives me some cushion for head shots

I mailed him modest 1024x768 images of the entire shoot and asked him to select the ones he wanted higher resolution. I got a thank you, but no further request

This picture is #03 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Many thanks Arindam for being my third stranger (Mousumi will be #4)
